Since 2014, Carbon Adventure Racing has been home to some of your favorite local races

​Our Race Directors, Jacob and Michael Martinez, had one goal in mind when they started producing events: provide an experience, not just a race. When participants walk away, we want them to be impacted by what they have accomplished and have a new sense of what they can achieve. We approach each event with that mindset and make sure that we are supporting the local communities while we do it.

Our Story

Based in Carbon County, PA

Living here for the past 21 years, we have been able to explore the beauty and unique history of Carbon County. Whether it be the banks of the Lehigh River, the valleys and waterfalls at Glenn Onoko, or the anthracite coal mines that grew the region, our backyard provides the ultimate space for amazing athletic adventures.

Building Unbreakable Bonds

At Carbon Adventure Racing, we want you to feel like a valued member of our family. Our top notch volunteers and staff bring the energy to each event and you are more than just a bib number. Seeing our participants do what they never thought possible drives us to keep creating more innovative events.
